Brief Answer:
Need to undergo investigation

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Palpitation is a sign which could be due to several reasons. This is how you should go about it

1. Approach a general physician to undergo basic tests like complete blood count, ecg and thyroid profile
2. I advise you to watch out for chest pain, breathlessness and blurring of vision
3. The most common reason for palpitation in your age group is anaemia and thyroid dysfunction.

Please do not ignore this matter, get yourself evaluated as soon as possible

Answered by Dr. Rakesh Madhyastha (15 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Motrin is a good pain killer

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back, I am sorry for the short delay in my reply. I was on call at my hospital.

Motrin is a good painkiller however it is nephrotoxic which means that if taken for a prolonged period of time ( more than 5 days) at a stretch it causes damage to the kidneys. Take it twice daily for not more than 4 days. A safer pain killer would be paracetamol three times daily.
I also recommend local analgesics like diclofenac gel, to be applied three times daily

Muscular pain does not cause palpitations.

Brief Answer:
Palpitation could be due to dehydration

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Nice to hear from you again.

Extreme dehydration can cause palpitation but not necessarily damage it. Drinking water and maintaining adequate hydration will revere the dehydration and also stop you from get the palpitations.

Tab Betaloc can be used to stop the palpitations, please ask your physician for the prescription
